Interesting... 🤔🤔

This is a thermal image of a dog with a portion of its body shaved and the other portion not shaved. The non-shaved portion is at 24°C and the shaved portion at 30°C. The hair is present for several reasons, mainly for thermal regulation ☀🌡

Stop shaving dogs you're not helping them.

Vet profession compromised by 'commercialisation' of industry

I’ve seen first hand the advice big pharmaceutical companies give to vet students at industry nights. It wasn’t a pleasing thing to watch.

I also know in my job at a rural store, what the companies will give us if we sell so much if their product and take their online training modules etc.

We live in a world ruled by greed and ours and our animals health are the ones being used as pawns for it.

A leading veterinarian warns his profession is being compromised by the pet food and animal pharmaceuticals industries.

Remember: when you brush your pets, keep the hair and peg it to your washing line or tree branches. It'll help keep the little birds extra warm when they make their nests...

Dottie's Doghouse

With the increasing numbers of cross breeds on the market today , i again went back to my grooming friends and got some pictures so ye can see " real" life from everyday groomers around the country- none of the pictures are dogs we groom here may i add.
Such a massive explosion of Cockapoos, Labradoodles , Maltichons, Shichons as well as pedigree dogs like Bichons, Shih tsu's , Maltese etc
As groomers we ( i'm generalizing ) are getting quiet a bit of abuse - yes abuse from some owners when they drop their dogs off for grooming and come back to what may only be described as a " skinned " dog.. They then resort to social media to leave scathing reviews when really the groomer has freed the dog from discomfort and possibly pain..NO groomer will hurt a dog for vanity sake. I certainly won't.
Of course we are told " Yes i brush it EVERYDAY " .As trained groomers we KNOW a dog that's being maintained at home and one that is not
These " new breeds" of dogs have a mixed coat type, some can be very soft almost cotton wool texture and others if you are lucky may have more Poodle ( wiry ) type hair.
Puppies need to be introduced to grooming from the minute it arrives in your home.. It needs to be introduced to the person who will be grooming it for many many years at an early stage and we recommend about 14 weeks for its first meet and greet .
Soft high maintenance coats will need professional grooming WITH home maintenance - very 8-12 weeks if not sooner some every 4-6 weeks depending on the dogs lifestyle and how it is kept at home.
It's NOT your groomers job to brush your dog... that is YOUR JOB as it's owner.. We cannot undo 8-12 weeks of NO maintenance in a few hours..Yes we will brush the coat pre-grooming IF we can. We are not in the job to torture any dogs for vanity sake so arriving with a badly matted dog and saying " Oh i like him long " ain't gonna happen if your pet is matted - end of.
Brushes and combs are inexpensive, sit you dog down from a puppy and make it 10 minutes every night of " bonding" time.. yes they may pull away and try and bite the brush but gently perseverance with give it a positive vibe about his grooming schedule at home.. they will love you for it .
So have a look at " real daily life" of a groomer... and look at your pet... does it need a visit to the groomer ? Can u get a comb through its coat from head to tail ? If not maybe it's time to get your pet on a regular schedule which makes life much more enjoyable for owner , groomers and most importantly YOUR PET.https://youtu.be/Qzj8q2Kup5k, https://youtu.be/Z1VHLWJFIg0

Pet Promise Day Face of The Year Photo Contest

I've entered my pet in the Pet Promise Day photo comp, as the money goes towards a great cause... she may not be a dog or a cat, but my lambs are my babies and I love them all very dearly, so feel free to vote and if you are looking for a great charity to support, Living Ruff SA is a solely donation funded cause, helping homeless people and animals caught in domestic violence situations.

If you'd like more details I will get on to their members and share them. 😊😊

If Millie does happen to win a prize (you never know your luck), it will be donated back to the charity to use, except the photo shoot, I'm guessing she would need to be in that. 😆

All support greatly appreciated.

Millie the pet lamb. ????

Good use for excess dog fur. 😍😍

Winter is coming so don't forget to peg up any left-over pet fur after grooming, so birds can line their nests in warmth ###

Oh my lord!!! 😱😱😱

7 month old Lab came in because of inappetance, decreased drinking, and had some soft stool. Although she still had lots of energy she seemed somewhat agitated. After some xrays and diagnostic work the Doctor decided to do a Gastrotomy. The Doctor discovered 9 socks, 1 facecloth, 1 rubberband, and assorted other debris in her stomach. She was up and eating that afternoon.

Well there you go. 🤔🤔

The internet has decided this may be one of the worst dog haircuts in history. But before we laugh too hard, here's an important tip...

It turns out we may need to do our sniggering in private. Research has found that pets are actually quite emotionally sensitive after grooming sessions. In fact, they've even shown they do experience anxiety and even a form of dog embarrassment if they become the amusing centre of attention. Incredibly, the consequences can be so serious that they may even go into depression.

It's a phenomenon backed up by experience. I've treated a number of dogs who refuse to eat and exercise for days after a haircut that was deemed to be more humorous than high fashion.

So while that fur will grow back, the feelings may take a little longer!
